Dominant!

Countless individuals were appalled in their hearts. Zhuge Qingyun didn’t exit from Mt. Spirit Beast College for more than a dozen years, and the people of the world had almost forgotten about his existence. The result of the battle today wouldn’t matter as his fame would once again be made known to the world.

One against two!

One of them was even the ranked sixth among the top ten martial experts, the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s old kingdom marshal. He might have a tier-four spirit beast which was comparable to a Vajra Realm martial expert, but it was still a huge disadvantage to fight against two martial experts by himself.

“Principal!”

Jiang Yi was still in his original position, quietly resting his body. His chest was still feeling the pain as he looked at the four black spots in the sky. He was listening to Zhuge Qingyun’s heroic and forceful voice with complicated expressions in his eyes.

Concern, self-blame, helplessness… grudge…

He wanted to do his best to protect the Great Xia Kingdom so that Su Ruoxue could rest with peace in the heavens, but he couldn’t do it with his capabilities. He was originally prepared to die, but he was now guilty because Zhuge Qingyun got involved and might fall here.

If Zhuge Qingyun was to die, Mt. Spirit Beast College would definitely be annexed by various influential forces, and he would have implicated Principal Qi and the others.

What could he possibly do at this moment? This level of a fight was something that he couldn’t interfere with and could only look on helplessly as the three figures and the golden dragon clashed and separated continuously.

Roar!

That golden dragon repeatedly released golden breaths while the golden claws attacked the Old kingdom marshal and the old eunuch with the strength of 150,000 kilograms. Its strength was obviously insufficient as it would be knocked back easily by the old kingdom marshal’s scepter every time, causing its scales to drop and making a golden rain below it.

“Principal is in danger!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes were wide opened as he watched from below. If Zhuge Qingyun was to fight the old kingdom marshal by himself, the victor might be undetermined; but when under a pincer attack by two martial experts, he was obviously not a match for them.

The golden dragon might have an imposing prowess, it was moving craftily in the sky, and it had a formidable dragon breath, too. A pity that it was far inferior when compared to a human martial expert. Even the old eunuch would be able to suppress it effortlessly.

A tier-four spirit beast wasn’t a tier-four demonic beast, and once subdued by a human martial artist, it wouldn’t be able to rise in strength. Looking at the combat strength of this golden dragon, it could barely be comparable with a Vajra Realm martial expert.

Bang!

Finally…!

The golden dragon was struck hard by the old kingdom marshal’s scepter, causing its massive body to fall, ultimately crashing on the ground. As it crashed onto the ground, it caused a huge tremor and also smashed hundreds of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s soldier alive.

Roar! Roar!

The golden dragon roared out twice as it tried to stand up using the six claws but still fell back on the ground. More than half the scales on the body had peeled off, and there was golden blood oozing out from the surface of the skin as it was obviously injured rather seriously.

Bang!

There was another metallic clash that resonated as a black shadow fell hard. The speed was so fast that no one was able to take a good look at who it was. The individual crashed directly into the ground, sinking into a bottomless pit.

“Consecrator Lin!”

Taishi Zhan exclaimed as he flew into the deep pit and quickly carried a bloodied and frail old man. Everyone was dumbstruck as Eunuch Lin was ranked eleventh among the martial experts on the continent, but he was actually severely injured so easily.

Pong! Pong! Pong!

The clashes from above were getting louder while everyone’s hearts were clutching on tightly. The result of the battle between those two was closely related to the result of this war.

If Zhuge Qingyun won—or if he went even with the old kingdom marshal, the alliance army wouldn’t dare to advance because Jiang Yi was standing in front. With him there, no one would dare to charge. If Zhuge Qingyun lost, then Jiang Yi was going to die; and the Great Xia Kingdom would perish.

“Hahaha!”

Right at this moment, there was long laughter that suddenly came from the north. That voice was clear like a bell which echoed throughout the wilderness, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi and the old general from the Great Xia Kingdom took a glance, which caused their expressions to change. There were three individuals flying in from the north. One of them was wearing golden battle armor, golden battle helmet, and wielding a golden sword as though he was a golden battle god. The other was wearing a scholar’s robe and holding to a feathered fan as though he was a refined scholar. The third individual was wearing black battle armor while wielding a long spear with a fearful killing aura, like an unequaled killer god.

Three Vajra Realm martial experts!

“Northern Mang Kingdom’s Xiao Long Wang, Azure Dragon College’s Principal Yu, and Northern Liang Kingdom’s Sha Di 1 !”

The old general from the Great Xia Kingdom let out a long sigh. With so many martial experts arriving, it seemed like the six influential forces were determined for the Great Xia Kingdom to perish; and everything was set in stone. Once Zhuge Qingyun appeared, so many Vajra Realm martial experts actually came along, too.

Principal Yu of the Azure Dragon College, who was wearing the scholar’s robe and holding the feathered fan, smiled faintly and said, “Zhuge Qingyun, since you dare to stick your head out today, you must think that your combat strength is no.1 in the world and could go against all the heroes in this world, huh? Why not let the three of us play with you, too?”

“Include the two of us as well!”

Before Zhuge Qingyun and the two Vajra Realm martial experts from the Northern Mang Kingdom and the Northern Liang Kingdom could say anything, an aged woman’s voice echoed from the south. It was an old woman with crutches and a matured woman who had beautiful looks comparable to the Demon Empress that flew over rapidly. The old woman, who spoke earlier, yelled out again from a distance, “Old Commoner Zhuge, today, this old woman wants to settle the score of that sword’s vengeance in the past!”

“…”

Everyone present was in absolute silence, and all their hearts were thumping non-stop. Two more Vajra Realm martial experts actually came. Were all the martial experts in the continent going to gather here today?

Pong! Pong! Pong!

Another explosion echoed in the sky as a black shadow suddenly crashed down. The alliance army took a glance were all overwhelmed with shock. The old kingdom marshal of the Saint Spirit Kingdom actually fell, too. He might not be as miserable as Eunuch Lin, but he was obviously injured as well.

Zhuge Qingyun’s legs had been crippled for more than a dozen years, but his combat strength was actually so terrifying?!

“Principal!”

Jiang Yi, who was below, suddenly burst out with a shout. “Principal, go quickly and don’t bother about me!”

Jiang Yi had this sense of awareness at this moment. These people were probably not here to extinguish the Great Xia Kingdom, but… were here to kill him! This group of people was afraid of him, afraid of his development… of the Demon Empress who had his back. If his combat strength continued to grow, it would cause plenty of chaos in the continent; and there would an unexpected rise in variation which wasn’t under their control.

Hence, they wanted to make use of this internal conflict between the humans, which the Demon Empress would never interfere, and use every possible means to eliminate him. If Zhuge Qingyun continued to stay here just to protect Jiang Yi, he would have to die, too.

Swish!

Zhuge Qingyun, who was high up in the sky, descended while the ancient divine essence ring glowed and produced a bronze-colored wheelchair. He leisurely sat on it and suspended in mid-air, wiping off some fresh blood from his mouth and smiled. “Jiang Yi, don’t worry. Today, you are not going to die. Abbot, Hostess, are you two not going to come out?”

“Amitabha!”

The resounding name of the Buddha echoed while an old monk wearing a golden kasaya slowly walked over from the horizon. Every step he took would take him across a thousand miles, and in just a few blinks of the eye, he had gone past the alliance army and arrived in Jiang Yi’s nearby vicinity.

His two white brows which extended all the way below his jaws moved slightly as he formed prayer palms and said, “Benefactors. This Benefactor Jiang had destroyed this Abbot’s alms bowl back then and has some karma with this Abbot. Will all of you give some face to this Abbot as the Great Zen Monastery will like to protect this young benefactor for three years?”

Buzz!

As soon as the old monk finished talking, the wind and the clouds in the air moved uniformly, quickly forming an image of a very beautiful woman, who had the presence and manners of a fairy. Who could it be apart from Shui Youlan?

Shui Youlan took a glance at all the people in mid-air as she smiled and spoke, “The Water Moon Observatory will also like to protect Jiang Yi for three years. I wonder if the esteemed experts here will give some face to Youlan.”
